waiting on this. was going to get into actually app developing, but said screw it to learning java and decided to just wait for this.
[Android Apps and Games] keridel:
I agree but I also think that although there will be a lot of crap there will be some really good stuff. Just that little spark of genius.

And personally I would like to build apps to help me out. Almost like macros.

[Android Apps and Games] dkokkos:
why soundboards exist? man I think they are useless....
[Android Apps and Games] keridel:
I think because they are easy to code.

Fortunately I have read the Google faq and the question of apps flooding the market is asked.

This is the answer:

Currently there are technical limitations to being able to upload an App Inventor app to the Andorid Market but we are actively evaluating the best way to integrate with the Market.

[Android Apps and Games] Skye Menjou:
Download the source from Google App inventor and find the code that gets detected and change it around a bit.

Thats how most things get past detection.

HOWEVER, I will not do this of course, I am going to use App inventor for personal apps or publish it out of the market.

I have a strange thing how I learn programming, I tend to learn more from examples of code and I have learned LUA(For Gmod) and PAWN(for AMXX) but those are scripting languages.

Some App inventor apps might be worth to be on the market.

There is already lots of messy apps out there but the rating system takes care of that.

I got my invite Monday but haven't got around to trying it out yet, but i don't think you'll be able to make complex apps with this i might take a look at it next week if i get a chance i'll let ya'll know if its really game changing or not :).
[Android Apps and Games] keridel:
that would be great if you could blaboy. would love to know anyones thoughts on the program. i do think some of the best apps are the simple ones though. they just make life that little bit easier.
[Android Apps and Games] Skye Menjou:
Still no invite sadly.
[Android Apps and Games] dica:
Same here no invite yet
[Android Apps and Games] SpeeDemon:
Anyone from Canada get an invite yet? Still nothin :(
[Android Apps and Games] keridel:
Pretty poor show so far not many people seem to have had it.

but i shall wait semi-patiently until it arrives.
[Android Apps and Games] mrono:
I've got my invite but haven't done anything with it yet, no ideas
[Android Apps and Games] chaostic_2k1:
Been waiting for my invite as well. Looked at the tutorials, and it makes creating apps alot easier. Basically a visual version of bash scripting or java.
[Android Apps and Games] JimJam707:
Still waiting.
[Android Apps and Games] real843:
H.

Just got the invite, I am having trouble connecting my phone to my PC though.

I have a Desire, anyone knows what connection mode should be enabled on the phone to connect?
[Android Apps and Games] Skye Menjou:
Read the instructions?

I've send an invite 1 week ago, a friend of mine got an invite 2 weeks ago, he showed me the program, i can't wait!
[Android Apps and Games] dancer_69:
I sent them 1 month age, but no respond. I've resent several times before 3,2,1 weeks too. I don't know how they choose where to send the links.
[Android Apps and Games] LudoGris:
Someone just posted under the evo general section that they are starting to come out to everyone soon.
[Android Apps and Games] ironlood:
I got my invite but haven't done much with it ... i cant get my phone to connect (samsung vibrant not rooted) Ive followed the directions and still nothing

its just not fun to use the Android EMU
[Android Apps and Games] jamesd86:
shared access any of you guys that have invites??
[Android Apps and Games] keridel:
could you tell us when you asked for the invite? how long did you wait to get it?
[Android Apps and Games] DigitalFx2k2:
I signed up about a month ago and never got anything.

However I just went to their website and on the right i clicked "my projects" and a user agreement page loaded, I hit accept and then clicked back on "my projects" and "WELCOME TO APP INVENTOR"

i will post more about using it, now time to play around!

appinventor.googlelabs.com/about/index.html

see if this solution works for you, remind you guys I NEVER GOT A RESPONSE, i just simply clicked my projects and the user agreement license popped up and I hit agree and went back to myprojects link and im in!

let me know if it worked for anyone else, would be funny if this was a glitch.
[Android Apps and Games] dalladubb:
Got my invite tonight, took about 2 weeks. This thing is built very strangely. The main window is web-based, however, the blocks editor is small java environment that you have to download. Data is streamed from it to 2 places, your phone and back to the app inventor.

Also, it's not exactly something any old person can just pick and use despite the claims. It's still very developer-heavy. It's for those with a little bit of knowledge already of how programs work in general, it just takes the typing out and gives you helping a helping hand when needed.

All in all you can build some pretty decent stuff with this as it's easy enough for a beginner, but powerful enough for a seasoned dev to do some pretty cool stuff.
[Android Apps and Games] DigitalFx2k2:
yeah i just started using it 5 minutes ago, i downloaded the 60mb appinventor extras program. i was able to package and download the program to my phone and it ran! the only thing that wasnt working was running the program from the appinventor site, so the only way im able to test is to package and install, that kind of sucks lol... i wonder if its just my phone?

i have the real sdk installed and im able to run from eclipse no problem, and able to adb easily so i know its not my drivers. im running a samsung captivate on a windows 7, 64bit machine, maybe one of those factors is messing me up.

ah well its a nifty idea, and i agree with you on its not made for beginners, i dont see basic users running this and trying to make applications. im just going to use it for basic apps id like and code my in depth stuff obviously with the sdk.

has anyone tried my trick if they havent gotten a response from google yet? im wondering if i got the email and have had access or if i did find a way around so anyone can just log in without google notifying.
[Android Apps and Games] m2thedeep:
i tried it and it sent me to the request page.
[Android Apps and Games] DigitalFx2k2:
turns out i actually got an acceptance letter 2 hours prior lol what are the odds of that.. i just didnt check my email. The email came like this, for those interested.

subject : "Getting Started with App Inventor"

Welcome to App Inventor for Android!

The Google account that you are receiving this email on has been given access to App Inventor.

We recommend you start your app building adventures by working through the Getting Started material. You might also want to read more about App Inventor and take a look at some sample apps. Finally, you can ask questions and get help by signing up for the App Inventor Google Group.

Thanks!

Google's App Inventor Team

I do have to say i originally applied more than a month ago, but was not pleased with getting no response so about a week ago i re-applied, im not sure which of my applications got this activated. appinventor is limited in many ways, and honestly from using it, i believe it to be more work. It takes several clicks to make a button change text, im pretty sure i could type code faster. but that just might be me.

anyone else used it? would like to hear other people's thoughts maybe we could provide some useful feedback and have the guys at google get things we need implemented.
[Android Apps and Games] keridel:
ok so i finally have it!!! took about 3 weeks but they seemed to have stepped up their invites.

Been having a play and currently its very basic. but i'm running through the tutorials to see what is possible.
[Android Apps and Games] chaostic_2k1:
Got my invite so I'm good to go...

Problem is after going through the new tutorials, and the list of components/blocks I see this is really limited, won't look like a nice android app, and I have no idea on what to build.

Without something like grep and ability to download webpages to grep, my main ideas are worthless.

Media is limited to 5 mb total, combining all images and music/video.

You have only one screen, so for a multi-screen app, you need to either build more than one app and launch between them, or redraw everything on the screen.

Finally, everything looks very ugly. I would have loved something that gave a nice standard UI like the system screens.

That said, I feel invent-y. Anyone have any ideas on what to build/what they might want done.
[Android Apps and Games] breakeven:
Ok, dudes. I don't know what crazy magic I just pulled off but after reading your thread this is what I did.

1. became petulant that I had not received an invite either.

2. Went to the google app inventor about page to beg and plead to let me on their list

3. After signing up for it again. I noticed at the top there was a "my projects" button.

4. After pressing "my projects" I was let in.

There are some unknowns and that is all I have. I am now dumbfounded as what to do. If you are all wondering go to this address http://appinventor.googlelabs.com/ after signing into your google account and see if you have app inventor, I never received an email, but who cares.

EDITOk, I didn't read through the whole thread and I didn't see that someone else had done this, lol. Anyway, it does work for some people I guess. lol.
[Android Apps and Games] angermeans:
I actually did this same thing today after someone posted a couple posts up that he had tried it. I signed in and went to "My Projects" and it brought me to the agreement page. I agreed and I am now messing around with Google AppInventor
[Android Apps and Games] evaradar:
It doesn't work for me sadly :(, I tried and whenever I enter my account info, it redirects me to the sign up page grrr.

Isn't there like a version one can download onto their computer?
[Android Apps and Games] Skye Menjou:
I'll be damned, I had the same problem.

I was waiting like a fool.
[Android Apps and Games] keridel:
keep trying every day as they are now sending large batches out without the emails just keep signing in and you'll get it
[Android Apps and Games] breakeven:
Now I am messing around with ideas to make. I did a couple of the tutorials. Kinda fun. The I made a sound board of things I say often. Eh. What are some of your projects?
[Android Apps and Games] angermeans:
Yeah I have been waiting and checking like a crazy person for the past couple weeks. I just did it and it worked and I still haven't got an email or anything I checked my spam folder and all.
[Android Apps and Games] Minker17:
It looks as though they have stopped accepting new users and now all you can do is request access. Anyone know of another way to try it out?
[Android Apps and Games] skandranon314:
That's how you have to do it. I signed up the first week. Waited weeks till they finaly sent an invite.
[Android Apps and Games] ii Candor ii:
I got my invite recently. Still need to get it setup and start on some basic apps.

I have my invite and have started working with it. My problem is that my Comodo firewall is blocking the java web start portion the the application. Until I can figure out how to list it as an exception I am limited to use with my firewall completely off. Not a happy state of affairs.
[Android Apps and Games] skandranon314:
Decided to not mess with app inventor after I found out you can not upload apps made with it to the market.

Starting to learn how to do make an app without it. Much more work. :-P
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowmike:
the engineering build is limited to 300KB. Im going to attempt a nandroid of factory prduction after root
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowmike:
i ended up running the production nandroid on after downgrading to engineering.

this allowed me to have the 1000kb and still have the unlocked recovery.

however i was unsuccesfull at installing busybox and app2sd forsome reason the the production with root. so i ended up installing slidemeroot5r1 again.

ive tried installing production rom mms.apk and various other files but i cant seem to find the magic settings file with the right values for mms size.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hayzie:
I rooted my Slide the other day and made nandroid backup of it immediately. I hadn't installed any specific rom. I decided to install one rom to try it out, but ended up restoring my nandroid backup that I had. I actually prefer stock and like it a lot. I'm at stock and rooted, but message size limit is still 300kb max.

Is there still any workaround for this?

So here it is, attached to my keys:

I must say, I adore it, however, it is much lighter than I imagined,

and it just feels flimsy. Doesn't matter though, I'm hopelessly in love

with it =D

Has anyone else got any android memorabilia?

I love it =D
[Nexus One General] jaszek:
Where did you get it?
[Nexus One General] yayramen:
Oh bugger. I got it from...I don't know.

I think Stericson (?) tweeted it? I'm not sure.

Lemme go through my tweets see if I can find it.

Edit: Found it!

http://i-shawn.com/akw/shopping/

That's the site I bought it from.

Found it in my history xD
[Nexus One General] jaszek:
Thanks lol. I'm in need of a new keychain, only have a beer opener for now :P
[Nexus One General] yayramen:
Oh! Well, I wouldn't be an informer, if I didn't show you this first:

http://www.androidstickers.com/android-friends/51-limited-edition-android-key-chain.html

only difference is the price. This one is about 20 bucks, where as the first one was 10.

They have glow in the dark ones on ebay lol.

Showoff.

AND totally just realized...I meant to post this in Nexus One Accessories. Can a mod movie it please?

[Droid Eris General] bearmacerick:
My wife's phone has the v3 leak on it, and I want update her to the MR4 update. I found a copy of it at ...

http://www.androidcentral.com/droid-eris-ota-fixes-rolling-out-manual-install-link-available-too

Is it ok to go ahead and update using the file there? Is there anything I need to know first?
[Droid Eris General] bftb0:
Yes, it should be fine to apply that update to a Leak-V3 phone. This update is designed specifically for the original OTA2.1, which - as we all know by now - is essentially identical to Leak-V3.

What you need to know:

1) You can get the download directly from Google's servers with this URL:

http://android.clients.google.com/p...Verizon_WWE_2.37.605.4_2.36.605.1_release.zip

2) When you have finished downloading it:

- Make sure the phone is well charged.

- Copy it to the root folder of the phone's SD card. (After copying, check the file size, down to the last byte to make sure it is copied successfully)

- Rename it (on the SD card) to "update.zip"

- Power the Eris off

- Turn the Eris on by holding down the Vol-Up & End/Power buttons simultaneously, until the screen lights up

- Wait an additional 12-15 seconds; you should see a recovery "splash screen" after the 3 skating droids

- For a 2nd time, press Vol-Up & End/Power simultaneously

- You should see a brief menu appear; choose the item labeled "sdcard:update.zip" or some such.

- WAIT! Don't interrupt the phone, it takes a little while. Just let the phone do it's thing. It will automatically reboot when it is finished.

This update does not perform a factory reset - if you want, you could try and make backups of sorts, but you probably won't need them.

bftb0
[Droid Eris General] Hungry Man:
If I do this with root will it remove root?
[Droid Eris General] bearmacerick:
I did that last night, but it errored when i tried to apply the update. Not sure why. Maybe I'll try again.
[Droid Eris General] JerseyFF:
I got the MR4 applied to my 2.1v3 Eris this morning before I left for work. Went thru the same steps as listed in the previous post, flawless. No problems. I have noticed a slight boost in the performance of the phone, not a huge change really. After the update I did have about 20MB more free space on my phone, the update cleaned something up for sure.
[Droid Eris General] superbalde:
Is there a way to apply the update to the v1 leak? or a way to update to the v3 leak and then apply this update? I tried renaming the v3 to update.zip and applying and it errors out saying authentication. Any help would be greatly appreciated as this update is for my wife's phone.
[Droid Eris General] f1wanabe:
I upgraded from v1 to v3 then applied MR4 without problem. If you get the error screen (triangle with !) Press up volume then power key to continue. I got stuck there twice.
[Droid Eris General] bearmacerick:
You can't apply the MR4 to v1 or v2, you have to flash to v3 first. Don't change the name to update.zip. it has to keep the same name. i think it's like pb31img.zip or something. Keep in mind that this won't just be an update. It is flashing the phone. Your apps and settings will be gone.

Turns out I was on v2, not v3, and I just didn't realize it. Not sure how that happened. Oh well. I flashed to v3, then ran the mr4 update w/o any problems. Then I rooted. Now I'm trying to find a good kernel to use w/stock ROM so I can overclock. Any suggestions?
[Droid Eris General] vantagejuan:
Can someone that's currently running stock with the new update please go to settings>aboutphone and post their phones following specs please? It would save me quite a bit of time and I would greatly appreciate it.

Model Number

Android Version

Baseband Version

Kernel Version

Mod Version

Build Number

I'm having to get a replacement and they want to confirm i've installed the latest update. I'm rooted though and don't want to go through the process of unrooting/installing update/rerooting and then loading everything back on the phone when it gets here in three days.
[Droid Eris General] bftb0:
Here's the newest (July 2010 OTA)

Firmware version 2.1

Baseband version 2.42.01.04.27

Kernel version 2.6.29-8a03cb9a htc-kernel@and18-2 #1

Build number 2.37.605.4 CL185970 release-keys

Software number 2.37.605.4

Browser version WebKit 3.1

PRI Version 2.11_002

PRL Version 58003

ERI Version 5

You don't really need to unroot anymore, since root can be gained even with a 1.49.0000 S-ON bootloader.

If you want a factory phone with the July 2010 OTA update, I would just nuke the phone by overwriting it with either the Leak-V3 PB00IMG.ZIP or the "Official" RUU (same thing as the Leak-V3), and then download the July 2010 OTA from the google link, rename it to update.zip (on the root folder of the SD card), and apply by booting into the (stock) recovery menu.

bftb0
[Droid Eris General] vantagejuan:
Thanks a ton! I'll nuke it with the RUU when my new phone gets here. I just didn't want to have to do it before I got it just to get the information.

No, really, THANKS AGAIN!
[Droid Eris General] kalala:
Just for clarification purpose so I don't mess anything up, I am rooted running the KaosFroYo ROM. All I need to do to unroot and send back to VZW is to simply download the 2.1 ROM, flash it. Then download the July update and then flash that. Root is gone, correct?
[Droid Eris General] mccloskeym:
Does anyone have a new link to the update?

It seems as though Google removed it
[Droid X General] orcsbane13:
Ok, so i added a new friend to facebook but my phone would not update to allow me to link the contact. So i removed my fb account from my phone trying to force a sync when i readded it but to no avail. So does anyone know of a way to force a sync shy of a fa tory reload?
[Droid X General] hollovoid:
Sorry to bump an old topic but I would like to know this too, because ive added people on facebook that I already had in my phone, but the phone doesnt seem to know they are on facebook. there doesnt seem to be any easy way to just "hit sync" and have it refresh the facebook contacts.
[Droid X General] jussumguy88:
I would love to hear of a solution to.this too because my facebook just creates a new contact rather than link the contacts i already have.

Sent from my DROIDX
[Droid X General] meshdub:
Facebook always creates new contacts for your fb friends. It then links them automatically with google contacts if they have the same name. Are you saying it doesn't auto-link?
[Vibrant Accessories] brie987:
Hey just want to know if anyone has heard anything about extended batteries, I would be very interested, I know its a bit early but you never know. Thanks.
[Vibrant Accessories] disturkis4u:
Yeah I'm hoping for one that won't need a bigger back to it =/ wishful thinking perhaps
[Vibrant Accessories] }{Alienz}{:
I'm interested too. Something in the 2500-3000 mah range would be pretty amazing. Innocell have not released anything for the Vibrant yet though. Sigh.
[Vibrant Accessories] kolyan:
most if not all batteries that are rated more then OEM and are the same size, are actually even worse then OEM with lower rating....

and same for oversized batteries, if not OEM, then all ratings are bs. but of course it will give you anywhere from 30-40% more juice.
[Vibrant Accessories] SamsungGalaxySVibrant:
Last night I was reading something about Seido batteries, they claim to be 1750 but when you rip them apart, undernearth the fake 1750 badge that Seido puts on them, underneath is some kind of serial number or something that shows they are really 1300 batteries made by another company. Ouch

Just do a google search, the consipiracy should come up.
[Vibrant Accessories] kolyan:
Yeah, check out nexus forum, those 1650-1750 batteries are really somewhere around 1300
